European database for underway data from FerryBoxes

Data from FerryBoxes on ships of opportunity going on permanent routes are stored inside this database (ferrydata.hzg.de). Parameters are temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, oxygen and different others. The data model is transect oriented. A data portal to access and visualise the data is also provided.

Date (Creation): 2016-12-12

Identifier: HZG and all other European FerryBox providers are sending data. The extension of the HZG database to a database for all FerryBox user is currently in the developing phase.. Today in addition to the FB data from HZG IMR is already sending data regularly.
